I think it'd be too much white, but that's just my opinion. Maybe you could get someone to photoshop it for you to get a better idea of what it would look like.

Says the guy with the painted stockies.

I wanted it to look OEM and match the rest of the plastic under the hood. It actually isn't flat black BTW.

matte black is pretty damn close to flat black

I guess mine is considered a matte finish. The finish and texture that I used is identical to the rest of engine shroud and lower grille. I wanted it to look like it came that way, that's why I opted for it. I used a spray on coating, not just spray paint.

I like to have subtle mods that people don't really notice unless they're looking for them. I don't think it looks cheap and that's really all that matters.
